About “Sorry”

“Sorry” is a piano ballad where Halsey relies more on her voice than the music.

It is a very deep track from the beauty of Halsey’s heart. In the song, Halsey laments about the insecurities she felt, and how it was a part of her relationship. Her insecurities made her push her lover away, and she worries if she will ever be able to let anyone close to her again. Throughout the song, Halsey also hints at how her Bipolar Disorder might be the reason she failed at her relationships.

On February 1st 2018, she tweeted that she’s got a surprise for the fans.

The next day, on February 2nd 2018, she unexpectedly released a music video for Sorry. This marks the third music video for hopeless fountain kingdom.

What have the artists said about the song?

A fan on Twitter asked Halsey if she wrote “Sorry” to an “unknown lover” or to a specific person. She responded saying,

I was in the studio and I was thinking about all of the people that I probably could’ve had really cool relationships with, that I didn’t give the time of day to because I was too insecure to interpret their feelings as real. It was easy for me to write them off and think, “Oh they must say that to everybody,” and, “Oh they don’t really love me.” And to create problems in them because of my own insecurities to think they didn’t like me that much.
